Are all patchwork quilts made up of geometric patterns?
do they have to be made up of geometric shapes or is there any other way to do it?
hairbend has explained it very well.
i always prefer freehand – whether it is drawing or embroidery, etc…
for quilting, whenever i get around to it, i have a few patterns in mind. i would love to make a landscape – green valleys, brown mountains, rising sun, blue clouds, flowing river, flying birds, a little cottage, …..
or just a huge sun on one side with its rays streaking out in all directions. this would obviously be a quilt of warm colors – all in shades of yellow – orange – red.
or just waves in the ocean/sea – different shades of blue in wavy patterns with a few boats with sails drifting along….sea gulls soaring above …
and i prefer plain fabric to printed; although textured is fine to bring about variety & depth. with plain fabric, i can add some embroidery that will really make it stand out or give it some details.
and i wouldn’t sew through the layers in a regular geometric pattern either. i’d go with the theme of the quilt in choosing the thread colors as well as patterns.
just sharing my ideas
hope you like them …..
have fun & go with your instincts, imagination & creativity
